I think it should be possible to cross connect each two boxes with null modem cables (dunno if there's another word for them in English) in order to get serial access, am I right? (will try it as soon as I can get hands on cables -> tomorrow ;-) If they weren't for Intel CPUs (we're an AMD shop since ever ;-), I'd get some of those new Intel mainboards which even feed the BIOS output to you... But OTOH, at the moment, it'd take approx. 45 min to get to the servers using public transport system, some minutes less but with the risk of traffic jams if by car or, perhaps the best solution if weather allows it, motorbike: Switzerland's small.
